Yes. The club confirmed earlier this and Hull are on live.

Some interesting things in this article. Not least that Tyler Dupree can bench press 27 1/2 stone! Paddy Mago looking lean but tipping the scales at nearly 19 stone. Remember the days when we used to have an underpowered pack? https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/inside-the-diet-of-wigan-warriors-powerhouse-patrick-mago-as-clubs-head-chef-talks-fuelling-super-league-champions

The interesting thing for me is not who is playing, but who's not playing.
Field, MIski, Keighran, Marshall, French, Smith, Cooper, Havard, Farrell, Isa and Nsemba.

There really is a lot of strength in depth in the squad this year, especially if the likes of Eckersley, Douglas, Farrrimond, Hill etc really kick on.

Very true. We really could do with Eckersley, in particular, kicking on as I think centre is the only area where depth is a possible issue. Wardle and Keighran both seem very durable but, Eckersley aside, I don't see any specialist cover. Isa and Farrell have both played there quite effectively but it's more a square pegs, round holes solution.

In fairness, Eckersley needs game time so carrying an extra 'first team ready' centre would probably have been counter productive. I really feel Eckersley is the real deal and to stifle his chances of first team action could have been a risk.

Sloppy first half, Wakefield the much better side. Our contact in defence looked poor. Bouncing off tackles.

Re: Wakefield Friendly : Fri Jan 26, 2024 8:59 pm  

All practice for the lads on both side. Need a footing in the game

What's the over/under on floodlight failures for the 2nd half?

I think they’ve fitted security lights instead of floodlights.
